California Judge Charged with Murder After Fatal Domestic Shooting

In a heartbreaking incident, a one-month-old baby girl was fatally mauled by a family dog in Long Island City, Queens, New York City, on Tuesday morning. The New York Police Department reported that the attack occurred around 6:30 AM while the infant was sleeping in bed between her mother and stepfather, as stated in a CBS News report. The family's six-month-old German Shepherd-Pit Bull mix suddenly turned violent, leading to the tragic outcome. The mother informed authorities that her child was asleep at the time of the incident. Neighbors expressed shock over the attack, describing the neighborhood as dog-friendly. “As a parent, you don’t expect your pet to attack your child,” said local resident Maria Gutierrez. Animal Control has taken custody of the dog, and local authorities are conducting an investigation, interviewing the parents involved. As of now, no charges have been filed in connection with this heart-wrenching event.

The US Supreme Court ruled on May 30, 2025, that President Donald Trump's administration can revoke temporary legal status for over 532,000 Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan migrants, facilitating accelerated deportations. This decision puts on hold a previous ruling by Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani that had halted the administration's plans to terminate the immigration "parole" granted by Joe Biden’s administration. Two of the court's three liberal justices expressed concern, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting and highlighting the potential harm to nearly half a million noncitizens during their legal claims process. Parole, designed for urgent humanitarian reasons, allows beneficiaries to live and work in the US temporarily. Trump's administration argues that reinstating these protections complicates immigration enforcement efforts. This ruling follows Trump's January 20 executive order aimed at ending humanitarian parole programs. The Department of Homeland Security's initiative to revoke the status supports the administration's push towards a rapid deportation process known as expedited removal, impacting those previously sheltered under Biden's policies.

A new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics indicates that three large asteroids, identified as 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1, may be on a collision course with Earth in the coming weeks. Researchers, led by Valerio Carruba of São Paulo State University in Brazil, noted that while these asteroids currently orbit Venus, they are virtually undetectable from Earth due to their position behind the Sun. This “cosmic blind spot” raises concerns about last-minute detection. According to the study, while there is currently no immediate threat to Venus, even a minor gravitational disturbance could redirect these asteroids toward Earth, potentially resulting in catastrophic impacts. A collision could create a crater more than 3 kilometers wide, releasing energy equivalent to a million times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Researchers from the Rubin Observatory in Chile highlighted the urgent need for early detection, stating that identifying such asteroids only two to four weeks before impact is insufficient for comprehensive defense or evacuation measures.
